Yeah GR, major flaw in that theorum... All three console makers are banking on the idea that selling the consoles at loss is an investment to get it all back in software sales. Sorry, the theory that Sony is purposfully doing this sort of a scam is silly. That's Divx player's jobs! Okay, that format is outdated, but they are going to attempt it again with some new DVD format. They don't realize people are all going to HATE the idea of a company FORCING a product that would otherwise last forever to be a disposable. It's never once worked in the past to do this, like with the Divx player, and it won't work this time.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
